Ii appears that in this versatile city Of
Paris the old farce of The Bitter Bit is
still frequently enacted. This is the latest
representation that | have seen recorded.
Not long ago the proprietor of "A fur

his lodgers. The latter remained all day
in his room. and. according 10 the ser

him. Before the eugrayer was placed y
fifty franc note, which he seemed TO be
copying. Near by another note WAS lying.
II was damp and appeared TO have been
recently printed.
What are you about. wrrtchf' cried
the landlord, and, while the surprised

went on, in genuine surprise, and sud

cupidity mastered him.
why, You unhappy man, do you, with
your ability, content yourself with ilni-

Every woman will say that an umbrella
cover is "hOrrid nuisance" if she says
anything about it, and she is very likely
TO. Yet il is all but a necessity. None
but an expert can roll an umbrella SO that
il looks neat without a cover, and silk
umbrella proves very frail thing indeed
unless il il kept encased. On the other
hand, when occasion arises TO raise the
umbrella. what to do with the cover is a
very puzzling question To IA lady. A man
can stuff il in his pocket, but drcsSmakers
don't allow pockets nowadays 1t must
be carried some. way, and SO necessity in
this case has proved TO be the mother Of a
fashion as well AS of invention. When
the Fifth avenue girls put up their um-
brellas they tie the covers in pretty bows
about the handles, and thus easily dis
pense with the nuisance. To carry an
umbrella without a knot is all dead wrong
Just now. The fashion has led 10 the
adoption of gayly colored covers, even
with plain black umbrellas. New York

A remarkable discovery comes to US
from California. A chemist Of Germany,
whose researches have led him to the dis
covery of some generally unknown prop
critics OF the grape, has succeeded in ex-
tracing the water from its juice, in vac
uum, thereby producing thicksned sub
stance, not unlike molssses in consistency,
which will keep for many months, and
which when needed fo use can be thinned
out with water. IN that shape it is ex-
sctly like French grape juice, and then,
exposed partly to the air, with or without
the addition OF sugar, will turn to wine
This process has just been placed before
the world by DIR. Ferdinand Springmuehl,
who is now on his way TO California to
test his theory on large scale. This will
undoubtedly make great change in the
trade Of vineyardists, If the claims made
are suhstantia,ed. Monumental Enquirer

Vegetables cannot grow without potash,
for it is a constituent Of every plant.
When the soil has been enriched with ami.

ash may be dispensed with, but on lands
manured with exclusively nitrogenous
fertilizers, such as fish scrap, Peruvian
guano, etc, and cropped with potatoes or
some other vegetable exhaustive Of pot
ash, an application Of salt of potash,
either alone or Of fertilizer largely con
tanning it, becomes Il necessity. All pot
ash salts are exceedingly soluble The
ashes Of hard wood yield potash, and for
merly was nearly the only source of this
element, but now potash is provided in
almost unlimited qualities by the Kainit
